AMD Radeon R600g Gallium3D: Mesa 8.0.4 vs. 8.1 Git

Phoronix: AMD Radeon R600g Gallium3D: Mesa 8.0.4 vs. 8.1 Git

With Mesa 8.1 set to be released next month, here are some benchmarks comparing the Git performance of Mesa 8.0.4 to Mesa 8.1-devel for several generations of Radeon graphics cards. In this article the R600g Gallium3D driver is being put under the microscope while other articles in the coming days will look at the Intel i965 DRI driver, ATI R300g Gallium3D for the older Radeon GPUs, and the Nouveau Gallium3D driver.

i wonder whether there is any news on the APU graphics driver side.
it's been some time, hasnt it?
Besides, i wonder if the results would differ on a bulldozer system. maybe compiled with bdver..
(im considering to buy one so i wouldnt want something "fixed" for intel when it would possibly slow down AMD)

Comment

Interesting to see how some thing go through the roof performance wise but same card/chip with a different applications sees quite severe regressions. Well as long as mesa devs notice this and get the latter fixed before release it shall be fine. It is a intermediate development "release" anyway so I wouldn't build a house on it.
